At the 2009 linux.conf.au Penguin Dinner, Bdale Garbee "agreed" to shave
his beard if enough funds were pledged toward the cause of protecting the
Tasmanian Devil from extinction. On January 22, Linus Torvalds did the
honors in front of hundreds of LCA attendees.

Something between AU$35,000
and $40,000 was raised through this effort, which leaves Bdale beardless
for the first time in over 25 years.
